Newcastle United fans, "angry and frustrated" by their team's poor season, are planning a 69th-minute walk-out protest.

58'

Nice play from Haidara as Bellamy stands off the challenge but it just runs out for a goal kick.

57'

Zaha flagged offside as the anti-establishment chants continue.

56'

Cardiff have been on top early in this second half. A goal would turn the stadium into a very negative place. Deflected Williamson shot just wide!

55'

Now the fans are turning on Mike Ashley, telling him to get out of their club. Looks like this walk-out may well happen.

54'

A deflected Zaha cross has Krul struggling and it’s just wide of his far post!

53'

It has been a very subdued St. James’ park with not a lot going on. Cardiff must capitalise on this atmosphere.

52'

Looks like his ankle is the problem but he’s back on his feet. Chants of ‘We want Pardew out’ from a section of Newcastle fans.

51'

Remy has gone down in some discomfort after a challenge from Mutch.

50'

Corner taken by Bellamy, Whittingham back in but Krul claims.

49'

Decent start to the half from Cardiff, applying pressure on the Newcastle defence.

48'

Sloppy pass out of defence from Caulker straight out for a Newcastle throw. Basic stuff.

47'

Turner stretches to reach the corner but can’t quite hook it on target to test Krul. Over a year since his last goal.

46'

So Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made an attacking change in an attempt to rescue his club’s season. Zaha wins an early corner.

Cardiff City Substitution

Newcastle United Substitution

45+1'

Newcastle passing it around nicely, playing out the clock…

45'

Cardiff City sub: Bellamy on for Kim. Newcastle sub: Dummett off for Haidara.

45'

We’re back underway here at St. James’ Park for the biggest half of Cardiff’s season. Newcastle fans have also threatened to stage a walk-out on the 69th minute of the match.

-

HALF TIME: Newcastle 1-0 Cardiff

45'

Caulker crashes Ameobi’s header down the pitch. Cardiff want the half time whistle.

44'

We’ll have two minutes of stoppage time at the end of this first half for the Debuchy knock.

43'

Dangerous cross from Debuchy looking for Remy but it’s a good claim by Marshall.

42'

Almost too easy for Newcastle in the final third. Sissoko shoots wide again. Too much space being allowed.

41'

POSSESSION: Newcastle 61%-39% Cardiff

40'

The Newcastle fans are walking out! For some half time refreshments…

39'

Only twice this season have Newcastle scored first at home and gone on to lose. The omens not great. Great work from Campbell and he wins a free kick having been brought down by Dummett. Great delivery from Whittingham but just too high for Mutch.

38'

Peter Odemwingie has put Stoke ahead against Fulham. More good news for Cardiff fans.

37'

The good news for Cardiff is that they’re still in it and the Newcastle defence has looked flakey when they’ve attacked.

36'

Caulker gets a head on Whittingham’s free kick but he can’t direct it on target. Better.

35'

SHOTS: Newcastle 6-4 Cardiff

34'

It opens up for Tiote but he fires wide. Should have done better.

33'

Ball over the top from Mutch just slightly overhit for Zaha as Krul comes out well. Good spell for Cardiff.

32'

More bad news for Cardiff fans as Sunderland go 1-0 up at Old Trafford.

31'

Sissoko’s deflected cross hits the back of the post and away for a corner.

30'

Another chance for Zaha, he’s through on goal but Debuchy gets back with a wonderful challenge as he’s about to pull the trigger.

29'

Zaha should score! He wriggles into the box, turning Debuchy inside out but it’s a great save by Krul with an outstretched leg.

28'

Craig Bellamy warming up in front of the Newcastle fans, surprisingly to a few boos. Poor ball from Coloccini straight through to marshall.

27'

STAT: Cardiff have scored only nine first half goals in the Premier League this season. By far the fewest.

26'

The ball comes through to Kim and it’s a great challenge by Debuchy to put him off his shot at goal.

25'

Cardiff just can’t keep hold of the ball. If they concede another this could get embarrassing.

Gunnarsson sticks out a leg and brings down Tiote. Dangerous free kick for Newcastle…

6'

Krul clattered into Debuchy in the process and he stays down for a while before groggily walking off for treatment.

5'

Campbell should score! He shoots wide after Krul fumbles Fabio’s cross. Just needed to get it on target.

4'

Sissoko looking dangerous early on. His cross headed away by Caulker.

3'

Cardiff must weather this early storm and stay in the game. An early goal would really dent their survival ambitions.

2'

Cardiff under the pump as it’s given away to Gouffran. Good defending from Zaha. Goal kick.

1'

Early chance for Remy and should be 1-0 following good work down the right from Sissoko. He crosses for Remy and Fabio does just enough to block his shot. The corner comes in and Debuchy blasts it over.

-

Referee Martin Atkinson blows the whistle to get us underway here on what should be a fascinating afternoon for both teams. Cardiff must win to harbour realistic chances of staying up whilst Newcastle fans may stage a walk out in protest against recent results.

14.55

When this game kicks-off in five minutes time, it will be 493 days since an English player scored for Newcastle in the Premier League (James Perch on Boxing Day 2012). MATCH ODDS: Newcastle (20/19) Draw (13/5) Cardiff City (37/13).

14.50

Alan Pardew: "Forget about me and everything else, that's very important. I think that's been lost a little bit this week. This is about Newcastle and the pride that we have. Our pride has been dented. We have won 14 games, which at the start of the season we might have accepted. But from where we were at Christmas, we can't accept it and I agree with that."

14.45

Both meetings between these sides this season (one league, one FA Cup) have ended 2-1 to the away side.

14.40

Reasons for Magpies fans to be optimistic: Newcastle have won their last seven league games against Cardiff; a run that goes back to 1981.

14.35

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "If we stay up it would definitely be a bigger miracle than Barcelona in 1999. That night it was possible, and in football anything is possible. So we need to give ourselves a chance in front of our fans against Chelsea. It takes belief, togetherness, a team that goes the extra mile, and a hero stepping forward and doing something magical. It's still possible, it's still possible that we are out of the bottom three if we win this weekend."

14.30

Newcastle were in eighth place on December 29 after losing to Arsenal. Since then they have lost 12 of their 17 league games but have only fallen one place in the table.

14.25

Alan Pardew: "It's a job that comes with fantastic highs and also deep lows, and you have to cope with those equally well. I have tried to be balanced with the players this week and the pressure is very much on me. Sometimes it angles towards someone. Sometimes it's the owner, sometimes it's the players - this time, it's me and in a way, that's probably better for the team on this occasion. We all know the importance of the game for us as a club, and the club comes first."

14.20

So Hatem Ben Arfa misses out again with Alan Pardew having suggested that he is not worth a place in the squad. Cardiff are without suspended defender Juan Cala after his sending off against Sunderland with Ben Turner coming in.

14.15

It’s also a big game for Newcastle and Alan Pardew with Newcastle having lost six matches on the bounce. Disgruntled Newcastle fans are set to make their feelings known with a mass walkout in the 69th minute, the time chosen as a reminder of the last time the club won a major trophy, the 1969 Fairs Cup.

It’s a massive day for Cardiff, who will be relegated if they lose today. They need to win today and against Chelsea in their final game to harbour realistic hopes of survival although a win could see them jump clear of the relegation zone.
